The Value of a Gift

When you give your gift to the right recipient, it flourishes, they value it. Or else it perishes.

What is the best gift? Is there such a thing? Read on.

You have a lot to offer. Some of you have money to give, some, knowledge, many, love and compassion. Charity is a divine gesture, however, not all giving results in peace. Not all charity yields utility, neither for the giver nor for the taker. Thoughtless giving is like giving seeds and water to barren land, like offering grass to a lion, like giving your advice to one who has turned a deaf ear. It is of no use.

I have made a short video for you. It features my ten golden rules of giving. Understand who would value your gift. When charity is made to an undeserving recipient, it fails to offer contentment to the giver and the taker is unable to put it to the right use. You may also want to read on a spiritual gift to yourself.

Below is a short video of four minutes. It contains wisdom for most of the social, spiritual, and neutral transactions in the human world.

Spare a few moments to watch it so you may ascertain if it was worth giving four minutes of your time to!

Rain

The cloud does not pour rain on the field with conditions. The field, in turn, does not ask the cloud for a receipt. Both keep doing what they do, and the world is fed.
